  • An excellent compact and overall experience on the cheap

    The phone is very easy to handle in one hand. The back camera is very reliable in every situation, video is digitally stabilized and very nice. The front camera is of high quality and even has autofocus. Conectivity is good. The display is very good, colours, contrast, the min bright is too high. I did had some minor problems with the touch. No fingerprint scanner. Overall is a grear option on the cheap.

    Pros
    • Excellent overall camera
    • Video is very smooth even when walking
    • Compact form factor
    • Battery last a day
    Cons
    • Screen is too bright for bed use

  • This is bad product and the repair service is even worse.

    This is bad product and the repair service is even worse. I purchased the phone in October 2017. After only 2 months the touch screen was very unresponsive. Eventually it was completely unresponsive down the right hand side and I couldn't pull down the notifications menu. I returned it to the place of purchase who sent it for repair. I received no information on the progress of the repair and it was taking so long the retailer called the repairer to check the status. They were told the parts were on order and it would be a MINIMUM 5 week repair period. 5 weeks! For a phone. What was I supposed to do in the meantime?

    But you don't even need to take my word for it. Google "Sony Xperia XAI touch screen not working, unresponsive right hand side" and you'll see plenty of people with the same problem. Same problem with the phone, same 6 week repair period.

    Nice

    It is a good device for everyday use, it is beautiful, it has good cameras and it takes very good daytime photos, it is also very comfortable in the hand. But it is not a cell phone that offers great performance or a lot of power, with demanding applications or games it runs but slow, it is a device to use social networks or YouTube or light games, it also has the problem of battery since it is very low and at most you will doubt a day of not so demanding use.

    Pros
    • camera
    • wifi connectivity
    • nice phone
    • comfortable
    Cons
    • Drums
    • slow with demanding apps or games
    • very large upper and lower borders

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
